Purpose: In addition to gamma radiation, Tc-99m emits low-energy Auger electrons with path-lengths of nanometers to micrometers that cannot be utilized for diagnostic procedures; however, they have frequently been discussed for therapeutic applications. We compared radiotoxicity of three Tc-99m-labeled radiopharmaceuticals with differences in the subcellular distribution.Materials and methods: The intracellular radionuclide uptake and subcellular distribution of [Tc-99m]-pertechnetate (Tc-99m-pertechnetate), [Tc-99m]Tc-hexamethyl-propylene-aminoxime (Tc-99m-HMPAO) and [Tc-99m]Tc-hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (Tc-99m-MIBI) were quantified in rat thyroid FRTL-5 cells. Radiotoxicity was compared using late phosphorylated histone H2AX (H2AX) foci as a marker for unrepaired DNA double-strand breaks (DNA-DSB) and clonogenic cell survival.Results: Tc-99m-HMPAO showed a substantially higher uptake into the nucleus and the membrane/organelles than Tc-99m-pertechnetate or Tc-99m-MIBI. The colony-forming assay showed that Tc-99m-pertechnetate and Tc-99m-HMPAO caused a similar reduction in cell survival. Tc-99m-MIBI is less radiotoxic in terms of the estimated nucleus dose and induced the fewest number of H2AX foci compared with the other Tc-99m-tracers, and Tc-99m-HMPAO induced a fewer number of H2AX foci than Tc-99m-pertechnetate.Conclusions: Our findings reveal that clonogenic cellular survival is not solely determined by the DNA-DSB response. This finding may suggest the involvement of extra-nuclear radiosensitive targets in cell inactivation. For example, the mitochondria or the cell membrane could be affected by Tc-99m-HMPAO.
